Axavier, was known as “Fluffy” for his fantastic hair that highlighted his big smile and bright personality. He was always surrounded by many, whether it was on the basketball court, football field or out with friends. Fluffy’s actions were effortlessly smooth whether he was helping others in need, taking off on a kick return or striking up conversation with a friend.

He will be greatly missed on this Earth but in closing we will be able to see him again in heaven with his Savior, Jesus Christ.
